All works of commentary, reviewing, video editing and (many times) the mixing of different content sources do come from this channel's creativity. Thus, I believe there is a "transformation of value" from any particular raw audio source. This value transformation and, given the non-fictional / educational nature of the audio source contents, makes it a stronger case for "fair use" right. Also, I believe this video is supportive to the owners of the audio source contents, as it helps to spread their invaluable message in a positive way. But in any case, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, if any owner do not want their content to be featured in this video, please contact me :)

I have the Mark Twain quote on my wall - have had it there for years. It is such a good reminder to stay sane amidst the insanity. And Richard Feynman is another amazing human! Thanks for this 😊

We should have a lot of respect for Mr Kato of the IMF. It takes great skill and street smarts to be a part of the IMF gravy train.

The difference between following an individual in a group is easy. We don't know anything in the ability to communicate, so we use communication and our past knowledge to make any prediction. If we do not learn about anything, everything is a scam. We are afraid of everything so we will just follow a lineup. Investigate closer and that is what you will see from my viewpoint. It repeats itself over and over, it is a loop of ignorance that is all. Ignore everything around you and you will keep repeating because you do not see anything different. Learn and you will find the small details that allow you to be a human being or whatever you like to be. Your choices seem to be infinite, but the defined outcomes seem to be the same from repetitive choices of follow. Try your definitions of individual and group instead, as individual and follow. That will make more sense. Either you are leader or you are follower. Like a paradox, except you could be either if you want at any point. You just have to know that to be true and believe it. And you can believe it because you are alive. You would be dead if it wasn't true that you were a leader. I would assume a good leader is one that has poked a lot of holes in reality. Like you, The flaw is you're stuck on an impossible problem, not realizing that it is solved and it works. It is you trying to figure out the time is impossible. So then it is. Or there's a simpler solution that is being folded behind the scenes that you cannot tell or see at a scale of speed and size to make no sense to us. Think what a whales life is in perspective. Maybe the sun is a creature instead of just a blob. Maybe it's alive but we don't understand how to speak sun. We are on a planet and don't know what an alien would look like. Are we not all aliens to each other. How would you communicate with the sun if it was a creature? Maybe light feedback?

Yourself is conditiond by society so how can you trust yourself

[@TM-yc2qi]

Intuition

[@Spiritualitygonwild]

@@TM-yc2qi elaborate please how can you trust intuition when sometime it tells you to trust something that you then find out is wrong

[@TM-yc2qi]

@@Spiritualitygonwild I back myself because I have always intuitively known. Its not universal though, you got real people out here that want to follow other people that use their intuition.

[@mariettestabel275]

Group = Gregarious animals Individual = Racionalizing animal, but not racional There is no live brain outside an individual.

[@evanshlom1]

This isn’t true. Groups can admit faults. You need to work at surrounding yourself with the right people. At my company I’ve been on multiple teams that are great at being dead honest and at the same time everyone is super nice. It’s immature peopled groups that suffer from this.
